Second Loss In A Row For Toskala

Sadly, it seems that our star goalie is entering a losing streak. This is his second loss in a row with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs today faced the St. Louis Blues. It seemed at the start that it wasn't going to be Toskala's good game. Within the first 6 minutes, we were down 2-0.

The first goal was scored by Tkatchuk 1:18 into the game. Then a couple minutes later in the first, again Tkatchuk scored, making it 2-0 at 5:41 into the game. Toskala had had only two shots at the time, which both had sadly gone in.

Later on in the first, at 12:17 Blake scored with an assist from Tucker and Moore, making it 2-1 for the Blues.

The second period was scoreless for the first ten minutes and fifty-five seconds, but then at that moment Backes from the Blues broke that scoreless spell, making it 3-1 for the blues.

Five minutes later, at 15:11 Stajan scored for the Maple Leaf's making it 3-2, with the Leafs still behind by one. The assist went to Blake, and Tucker, for his second assist of the night.

The third period proved to be goalless, even though Toronto pulled their goalie for the last 1:15 of the game, and the game ended 3-2 as Toronto and Toskala recorded their second straight loss. With luck, this won't be the start of a long losing streak. Sadly, I think Toskala's GAA will be going up to 2.67.

Toronto's next game is against the Carolina Hurricanes, where the Hurricanes will be playing on home ice. The game is at 7:00 PM ET. You can watch on Leafs TV or listen in on XM Satellite Radio, station 207.
